new pc build
I have just built my first pc. all was going fine. i put in the xp cd and went to start. when it came to the license agreement part the F8 key wouldn't work on my keyboard so the only way out of it was my ESC and saying 'I don't agree'. No when i start the pc again i can't even get into the cd. it starts to run and then stops. The screen is just black with ' - ' on it. Any ideas??
